USA Cycling Championships to return to Knoxville for third year

The USA Cycling National Pro Road, Crit, Time Trial and Para-Cycling Championships will return to Knoxville for a third year.

With races from coast-to-coast, the country’s best riders will compete across each discipline to win the U.S. title.

The 2019 National Championship schedule begins in March, and continues with at least one championship nearly every month, including races at the junior, collegiate, amateur, elite and masters levels.

Knoxville's championship is set for June 27 to June 30. This marks the second time all U.S. national champions in professional road cycling will be crowned the same week under the organizational umbrella of one host community.

Knoxville has hosted the U.S. Pro Road and Individual Time Trial Championships for the past three years. It marks the second year Knoxville will host the U.S. Pro Criterium Championships.

The U.S. Pro Criterium Championships were staged in conjunction with the U.S. Amateur Road National Championships in previous years, according to USA Cycling.

They're free to the public.

“The USA Cycling National Championships are an incredible opportunity for so many riders at every level to realize their dreams of competing on the national stage,” said Chuck Hodge, USA Cycling Vice President of Operations. “The races are also a chance for cities and cycling communities around the country to come together and watch America’s best riding at their best. The National Championships are not to be missed, and we are continuing to work to make each of the events bigger and better.”
